Way Up in Alaska

Monday, February 24, 2014

Some of the things my sweet mother tried to teach me when I was a girl, I truly never wanted to learn. Thankfully, I grew up. Now I treasure the the things she tought me. And every time I go home for a visit I try to have her teach me something that I didn't have the foresight to value when I was young. Crocheting is one of them. This is a little hat I made as a baby gift. I can't believe I ever thought crocheting was just for old people. Or maybe I was right, and it took getting old to appreciate the value of this type of skill. Think about how much more I will know when I get to be my moms age. I love you Mommy!

So this is a photo of the eraser that is still lodged in TJ's ear after two trips to the clinic to trying get it removed.

It looks like you should be able to get it but when we try he cries so bad we have to stop. I'm hoping we won't have to fly to Anchorage to have it removed. A sister from the Bush branch said they had to do a surgery to have a bean removed from a boys ear. I hope it doesn't come to that.

For now the plan is to wait until we travel, but I have to talk to a specialist. Poor TJ is pretty upset and it hurts him a lot when we touch it. However he would like to go to Anchorage so he could go to McDonald's. That will be one expensive happy meal!
